MY STORY SO FAR.. From a failed business of my own to helping others so their's doesn't fail..
From Royal Navy (RN) Aircraft Handler to Business Consultant.
In 2012 I re-trained as a Plumber. On departure from the RN, I registered in some of the local directories and put some business cards on various notice boards in the area.
I quoted a number of bathroom installations, tiling jobs, leaking taps/showers Some jobs I got, some jobs my competitors got.
I soon thought that going self employed wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. The jobs weren't coming in like I had hoped. Even when they did there was no guarantee I would get to do them.
I was looking at local jobs so I could still do Plumbing alongside this. The amount of work I completed became less and less due to full time work commitments.
I then knew I needed to find out how a business could thrive and how a business diary could be filled with appointments/jobs.
The answer (that plays a big part in any business, especially a new business or a business that needs help with it's growth) is getting more customers via Online Presence.
I had the vision, the enthusiasm, the van, the tools, the support from my Wife and Family. I thought that advertising and growing a business online and through Social Media was out of my price range.
What I did about this was about to change things, not just my thoughts on the above, but the help I can provide for business owners so they succeed. Some are brave enough to admit they need the help.
EVERY BUSINESS OWNER HAS GOALS, RIGHT?
I've found, from the business owners I've spoken to are, to build it's customer base, increase profits, increase employees, get another van on the road, have another office in the next town/county.
I learn't exactly how to do this! By learning this new skill set, it has enabled me to work with many businesses locally, nationwide and across the pond!
It's a great feeling knowing I can change a business from rock bottom and almost failing, to successful.There's no reason a business should fail with the knowledge available today.
We offer a FREE 20 minute Consultation, over a coffee or over the phone if you prefer.
